Cautions When Using Flash

 

 

With the built-in flash

Use the built-in flash for subjects at least

0.7meter away. If the subject is closer than 0.7 meter, overexposure may result.

The built-in flash can usually be used with a lens as long as the symbol does not blink in the camera as a warning.

However, with certain lenses vignetting may still occur even if there is no blinking symbol warning. It is also possible for a lens to trigger the blinking symbol warning, but still be used with no problem.

For details, see the built-in flash compat-

ibility table on page 31.

With the , the blinking symbol warning does not appear in the camera even if the lens is unsuitable for the built-in flash. To find out whether the lens is suit-

able with the 's built-in flash, see the camera's instruction manual.

When using the built-in flash, remove any lens hood. The lens hood may obstruct the built-in flash.

*The FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited lens is compatible with the built-in flash even with the lens hood attached.

With an external flash

If you use an external flash, you can use the lens with the lens hood attached. For details, see the external flash's instruction manual.

With the AF500FTZ flash

If the AF500FTZ flash is used with an FA lens shorter than 24mm, the flash does not show a blinking focal length display as a warning.
